I enjoyed every Clint Eastwood directed movie I’ve seen, but I’m in no hurry to see this one. I already know how it ends.
Millennials are the primary theater going audience, and they can’t identify with this film. If Jewell were female or black, they would have showed more interest. Also, it’s just not the kind of movie to draw large crowds to the big screen. I only go to the theater for highly cinematic features, where the huge screen envelops you into the action and scenery, and a small screen doesn’t do the film justice. My home theater is more than adequate for this pic. I will stream it when it’s available.
It’s not a big action blockbuster. It’s a docudrama. A niche market offering. Expecting it to have numbers like “Frozen 2” or even that “get off my lawn” movie is unrealistic.
It’s a very niche film at a time when people are going to see Christmas blockbusters with the kids.
The weekend isn’t over yet. Don’t they count Sunday as part of the weekend?
That’s because I didn’t get there yet. If it is what everyone says, MANY will want to see this one!
I really enjoyed it.
just saw it! good movie
fact-based or historical movies are box office block busters.
Nas Unappealing characters normally don’t translate to boxoffice. Next week is Star Wars, so it ain’t going to be a big Clint movie

Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we -
we own this country. We - we own it.
It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it.Politicians are employees of ours."

This sounds like a great movie, and I haven’t seen or been interested in a new movie since forever.
The most important point is that Richard Jewell should be vindicated. RIP.
It sounds like the kind of movie that would have been better suited to HBO, or Netflix.
In general, the target audience for this doesn’t like to go to theaters, unless it’s something special.
I saw Richard Jewell Saturday. The theater was half full mid afternoon. The entire theater seemed much thinner than I had anticipated for Christmas season. I’ve been to that theater many times. This was the first time they had nobody at the ticket window. You bought tickets at the long popcorn counter lines where everyone was confused.
It was Regal. Regal has new parents, Cineworld of London. Many theater goers are unhappy with the changes, very moviegoer unfriendly.
I had high expectations of Richard Jewell. It exceeded my expectations. Excellent story, excellent acting, editing, etc. Very entertaining while clearly making a political point.
It is making exactly the same point, same message, as Quenn & Slim which came out in November. People who represent the government have too much power. They abuse that power. Power corrupts.
It wouldn’t be the first time there was box office fraud.
I haven’t been to a theater in years. Is seating ticketless now? If not, folks should check their tickets. If seats are now ticketless, I wonder how receipts are verified.
I saw it this afternoon and enjoyed it. I had forgotten that the “Macarena” song and dance were the big fad at the time.
Saw it last night and the theatre was packed.
It’s a serious movie, not brain-dead Christmas fare the masses crave.
I saw it with my wife this weekend. Very well done. Strongly recommended.
The movie outs the media as dishonest, no wonder they won’t advertise it.
